We had a very nice 10 day stay. Tatiana was lovely and very helpful.
We enjoyed evenings in the courtyard having the odd night in with local cheese and fresh crusty bread.
The cottage very clean.
Always found car parking in the village.

We are an extended family of twelve and over the years have had many holidays is this part of France. This year we really hit the jackpot as it's the first time the reality of the Mas when we arrived out did the reviews. The whole property was great in everyway there was so many pleasing elements. The pool (of course) the tasteful décor and furniture, plenty of space to chill out. For me the best bit was the outdoor kitchen and sitting area where we could gather in the evenings. The village is lovely, not much there but one typically French restaurant that provides simple French food. The location is very convenient for visiting the surrounding towns and villages of which there are many. The owners were a delight to deal with very helpful and generous so thank you Catherine & Pierre for letting us share your house.
